PAC/W/23905 was built by BAC in Warton in 1964 as a Mk 4 aircraft and delivered to the RAF as serial number XS228. However, the aircraft was retained in a maintenance unit and returned to BAC in 1967 and modified to Mk 52 standard as a ground attack aircraft for export. The aircraft served with the South Arabian Federation (South Yemen) Air Force as serial number 104 where it saw active service and sustained minor combat damage during operations. In December 1975 it was transferred to the Singapore Air Force where it served as serial number 352. Superceded by the BAC 167 Strikemaster, the aircraft was withdrawn from service in late 1980 before being sold to a British company in 1983. It is the only Mk 52 still flying.
